- I have adapted the Mortran processor to my own needs.
This note describes my version, which is running on SLAC's
VM system, and has been sent out with Top Drawer. Most of
the code is the same as Jim Cook's Mortran, and much of this
note has been copied from Jim's technical memos.

- 1.1 MORTRAN SYNTAX
+ 1.1 MORTRAN SYNTAX
+ _______ ______
0 With a few exceptions involving strings, any Fortran
statement, followed by a semicolon, is sent to the output
file. No checking is done by the Mortran processor that the
statements are in fact legal Fortran.
Exceptions:
1. Strings within apostrophes (e.g. 'string') are turned
into Hollerith form.
2. Multiple blanks in the input, not within apostrophes,
are turned into a single blank. This includes blanks
+ ____ ________ ______
within a Hollerith string.
+ ______ _ _________ ______
0 The above statements about the Mortran processor result
in the following general rules about writing Mortran code:
0 1. Statements are free-form, terminated by a semicolon
(;). Card boundaries are irrelevant.
2. Comments are enclosed in quotation marks ("comment")
and may appear anywhere.
3. Character strings are enclosed in apostrophes
('string').
4. Alphanumeric statements labels are enclosed in colons
(:label:) and may appear anywhere a Fortran statement
label is legal.

FOR v=e TO e BY e < stmts; >
FOR v=e TO e < stmts; >
DO v=e,e,e < stmts; > (Fortran DO-loop.)
DO v=e,e,e < stmts; > FALL THRU
(Fortran DO-loop.)
FALL THRU
-
These loops may all be nested. E.g.
0
IF I.NE.J <
OUTPUT I,M(J+1); (' Chain',I4,' ends with ',A4);
> >
- Within one of these loops, the statement EXIT; means
"branch to the statement following the end of the loop".
The statement NEXT; means "start at the beginning of the
loop". (For DO-loops and FOR-loops, the counter is incre-
mented.) E.g.
0 LOOP < INPUT X; (F10.0); IF X.EQ.0.0 EXIT; SUM=SUM+X;>
0 - 2 -
1
-
- A loop may be labeled. A NEXT or EXIT statement may
refer to the loop at any nesting level above it by using
the label. E.g.
0 :FIND BLANK:
LOOP <
INPUT CARD; (80A1);
>
Note that there must not be a semicolon between the label
and the following keyword. (This would cause a labelled
'continue' statement, but would not associate the label with
the loop.)

1.2.3 Local Subroutines
+ 1.2.3 Local Subroutines
+ _____ ___________
0 Within a Fortran subroutine, local procedures can be
defined with the following syntax:
0 :procname: PROCEDURE < stmts; >
- A procedure can be invoked by the statement
0 EXECUTE :procname:;
- Within the body of the procedure, the statement EXIT
:procname:; effects a 'return' to the statement following
the EXECUTE statement, as does the final '>'.
0 Returns from local procedures are implemented with an
ASSIGN statement and an assigned GOTO, which are legal but
unusual constructs. The 'call' is done with a GOTO, which
is always legal in Fortran IV. However, the new Fortran 77
explicitly prohibits branching out of the range of a DO-loop
and then returning, so this construct will produce illegal
code if an EXECUTE statement inside a DO-loop calls a
PROCEDURE outside it.

+ 1.3 QUOTED STRINGS
+ ______ _______
0 %Vn in columns 1 to 3 controls the treatment of quoted
strings.
0 %V0 is the default setting, which causes strings within
apostrophes to be converted to equivalent Hollerith values.
A double apostrophe, i.e. a null string, is changed to a
single apostrophe.
0 %V1 causes strings within apostrophes to be passed along
unchanged. In this case, there is no way to produce an
unpaired apostrophe in the output.

1.4 COMMENTS
+ 1.4 COMMENTS
+ ________
0 %K in columns 1 and 2 of a card causes that entire card to
be copied as a comment card in the Fortran output.
- %Ynn starting in column 1 causes Mortran comments, enclosed
in quotes in the input, to appear in comment cards in the
output. The comment text will start in column nn+1 of the
card, where nn is a 1- or 2-digit unsigned decimal integer.
nn=0 or blank inhibits this feature. No more than one com-
ment card will be produced between normal output lines, so
large blocks of comments will not be passed.
- The internal operator @NN performs the same function for the
Fortran output that the @NM operator performs for the list-
ing, that is, the first actual parameter in the macro being
expanded is written to the file in question. (In CGTM No.
185 and No. 167, the @NM operator is incorrectly given as
@MM. The original intent may have been to use @MM, but all
implementations I have seen have used @NM, as does my ver-
sion.)

+ ___________ __________ __ ____
0 In addition to the usual GENERATE and NOGENERATE control
words, I have added an ELSEGENERATE. For example,
GENERATE; A=B; ELSEGENERATE; C=D; ENDGENERATE;
produces the code line A=B, but
NOGENERATE; A=B; ELSEGENERATE; C=D; ENDGENERATE;
produces C=D. All GENERATE controls can be nested in the
usual way.

1.6 LISTING
+ 1.6 LISTING
+ _______
0 There are three levels of listing possible. Level 0
gives no listing at all. Level 1 lists only the %E lines,
which are normally page ejects and can be used for comments.
Level 2 is the full listing. %Ln or %Nn in columns 1
through 3 sets the listing level to n. %L is the same as
%L2, and %N is the same as %L1.

1.7 MORTRAN KEYWORDS
+ 1.7 MORTRAN KEYWORDS
+ _______ ________
0 Mortran programs may be written using either 'reserved-word'
or 'bracketed' keywords. A program using reserved-word key-
words might look like this:
FOR I=1 TO 8
instead of LOOP,
instead of DO, etc.
0 The specification of macros depends on the particular
system. Each macro set is in a different input file, and
one or the other must be read in by the processor at execu-
tion time. Since Mortran is invoked in different ways on
different systems, I can't tell you here how to use it on
your system.

1.8 LINE NUMBERS
+ 1.8 LINE NUMBERS
+ ____ _______
0 Identification can be added in columns 73-80 of the Fortran
output. Mortran tries to be clever about what it uses:
0 1) If the input is Wylbur EDIT format, then the Wylbur line
number is used.
0 2) If the first line of the input file is not blank in col-
+ _____
umns 73-80, then the contents of columns 73-80 is used
for the entire file.
0 3) Otherwise, the sequence number of the line in the file is
used.
0 %J0 in columns 1-3 of a card disables this feature and
leaves column 73-80 blank in the Fortran output.
%J1 in columns 1-3 enables it. This is the default.
0 Because of the way Mortran reads input cards, the con-
tents of columns 73-80 may come from a line which is near,
but not the same as, the line which gives the code in the
rest of the line. The discrepancy is not usually more than
one line.
-
- 1.9
+ 1.9
+ _______
0 The characters '' appearing in the input cause a
pointer to be added to a stack which saves the current state
of the macros. The characters '' pop that stack and
restore the macros to the state that existed when the corre-
sponding command was encountered.
-
-
1.10 COMPILE-TIME ARITHMETIC
+ 1.10 COMPILE-TIME ARITHMETIC
+ ____________ __________
0 Mortran has an arithmetic stack, and allows manipulation
of the contents of that stack through commands which can be
imbedded in the input code. This feature is somewhat eso-
teric, but can be useful for writing simple macros, e.g. for
funny dimension statements.
0 nnnn push the integer nnnn onto the top of the stack.
nnnn is a decimal integer.
-
- 7 -
1
-
pop the number on the top of the stack into the
code stream. (It is in the same format as other
Mortran-generated numbers, i.e. as the two char-
acters @n, and is not translated to a decimal-
character representation until it is moved to the
output buffer.)
0 name; Create a macro pattern 'name', and use the number
on top of the stack as the replacement part.
This number is popped, i.e. removed, from the
stack. Note that the semicolon is required, but
is not part of 'name' and is not put in the out-
put stream. ( differs from in that
macros involving usually pop a new number
off the stack each time they are expanded, and
pops the stack once, when 'name' is defined
as a macro pattern.)
0 <+> perform the indicated operation between the sec-
<-> ond number on the stack and the top of the stack,
<*> pop both those numbers from the stack and push
> the result onto the stack. Division by zero is
not performed, but no other checks are made on
the values used.
0 Duplicate the top of the stack. (The stack
becomes one value longer, and the top two are the
same.)
0 The value on top of the stack is removed from the
stack and compared to zero. If the comparison is
satisfied, a macro is generated. If
not, a macro is generated.
0 This is the same as .
0 For n=1,...,9, this swaps the value at the top of
the stack (the zero-th value) with the n-th value
in the stack. For instance, exchanges
the top two values in the stack.
0 %S1 appearing in columns 1-3 is a debugging aid which
will cause the printing of the stack contents each time an
arithmetic stack operation is done.

0 USING MACROS
+ USING MACROS
- The only guide to using the full power of the Mortran
processor is C. T. Zahn's A User Manual for the MORTRAN2
+ _ ____ ______ ___ ___ ________
Macro-translator, CGTM No. 167. Zahn's SKOL language,
+ ________________
implemented in Mortran macros, is a demonstration of the
remarkable power of Mortran.
0 Some of the physics groups at SLAC have developed macro
sets for common programming applications, using the standard
macros as a starting point and sample. 'Mortran Macro' is a
difficult language to program in, but the possibility of
extending the language to match a particular application is
to my knowledge unmatched in a Fortran environment. Appen-
dix B, which is mostly copied from Zahn, gives a list of the
@-operators currently available. It should be emphasized
that these operators are processed when they are found in
the replacement part of a macro-rule, when that rule is
+ ___________
found to match a pattern in the code. An '@' in the code
itself has no significance.

2.1 A USEFUL AND INSTRUCTIVE EXAMPLE
+ 2.1 A USEFUL AND INSTRUCTIVE EXAMPLE
+ _ ______ ___ ___________ _______
0 The following example illustrates some of the techniques
and one of the problems of extending the Mortran language.
The problem is to make a macro which will allow parameters
to be defined, as in the Pascal or Fortran-77 PARAMETER
statement. This already exists, of course, in the form
0 %'aaaa'='bbbb'
0 which will replace aaaa by bbbb everywhere, but a nicer way
would allow
0 PARAMETER aaaa = bbbb ;
0 A first cut at the macro definition was
0 %'PARAMETER#=#'='%''#1''=''#2'''
0 which would replace the statement
0 PARAMETER aaaa = bbbb ;
- - 11 -
1
-
by the statement
0 %'aaaa'='bbbb'
0 Note that the template in the macro definition is
0 PARAMETERsomething=something else
0 The replacement is given as
0 %''something''=''something else''
0 which becomes
0 %'something'='something else'
0 when it is placed in the input stream. Unfortunately, this
replaced the PARAMETER statement by
0 %'aaaa'=''
0 causing aaaa to be deleted.
0 The error is that the second # in the %'PARAMETER...
statement is matched by anything, including the null string.
In order to specify the strings which will match, a delim-
iter is needed to show the END of the string. The correct
macro (meta-macro?) definition is
0 %'PARAMETER#=#;'='%''#1''=''#2'''
0 The additional semicolon requires that the second # match
the entire string between the '=' and the ';', which is the
desired effect.

0 USING MORTRAN ON SLAC VM
+ USING MORTRAN ON SLAC VM
- Mortran is on the system U-disk, and is available through
the Mortran command:
0 MORTRAN [fn|fn ft|fn ft fm] [( [RES|BRK] [ONTO filemode] ]
0 The default filetype is MORTRAN, MORTRANB, or MORTRANR (in
that order).
The default filemode is *, i.e. all disks are searched.
- This command will use the given file for input, and will
write two output files, one with filetype FORTRAN, which is
the Fortran output, and one with filetype MORTLIST, which is
the listing for the printer. (To print it, give the command
"PRINT fn MORTLIST fm (CC)", since the carriage control
characters are in it.)

0 3.1 SPECIFYING THE MACRO SET
+ 3.1 SPECIFYING THE MACRO SET
+ __________ ___ _____ ___
0 The choice of macros is one of style. You may specify it in
several ways:
0 1) An input file which has a filetype of MORTRANR requires
the reserved-word macros. Similarly, MORTRANB requires
bracketed-keyword macros.
0 2) For any other filetype, you may use BRK or RES as a
parameter when you invoke the exec.
E.g. MORTRAN NEW PROGRAM (BRK
0 3) The FIRST line in a file named -name- MORTDEF (where
-name- is the filename of your program) may be either BRK
or RES, which will invoke the corresponding macro set if
it has not been specified by any of the above.
0 4) The FIRST line in a file named PROFILE MORTDEF may be
either BRK or RES, which will invoke the corresponding
macro set if it has not been specified by any of the
above.
0 5) If none of the above, then RES is the default.

3.2 OUTPUT FILES
+ 3.2 OUTPUT FILES
+ ______ _____
0 MORTRAN writes three files:
0 Unit OS equivalent Filetype Contents
4 SYSTERM Error messages and %E lines
6 SYSPRINT MORTLIST Full listing.
7 SYSPUNCH FORTRAN Fortran cards.
0 The SYSTERM output is normally written directly to the ter-
minal, so there is no default file name. The other two are
disk files. The filename for both is the program name,
which you use in the MORTRAN statement. The filetypes are
MORTLIST and FORTRAN.
0 The output disk mode can be set in one of four ways.
0 1) Explicitly, by an 'ONTO diskmode' parameter in the
invocation, e.g. MORTRAN XXX (ONTO A5)
0 2) If not set explicitly, the disk mode is set to the same
value as that for the input file.
0 3) If neither of these points to a disk for which you have
write access, then the disk mode is set to 'A1'.
0 4) Finally, a FILEDEF command in your 'PROFILE MORTDEF' or
'name MORTDEF' file overrides any of the above set-
tings, and can be used to set filename, filetype, and
disk for any Mortran input or output file.

3.3 FILEDEFS FOR ADDITIONAL INPUT FILES
+ 3.3 FILEDEFS FOR ADDITIONAL INPUT FILES
+ ________ ___ __________ _____ _____
0 When MORTRAN is executed on a file named 'name', first
the default input and output files are FILEDEF'd. Then your
disks are searched for a file named PROFILE MORTDEF, which
could contain additional FILEDEF commands. With a PROFILE
MORTDEF file you can set up FILEDEFs for the files that your
Mortran programs normally require. Finally, the same search
and read is performed using the filename 'name MORTDEF', so
you can set up FILEDEFs which are specific to the particular
'name' you are working with.
0 The MORTDEF files should be in CARD (F 80) format, or some
other format which can be read by the DISKIO program. This
is a consideration only if you create them from WYLBUR.
0 For instance, if you have a set of lines which you want to
include in many places in your program, the following
arrangement will work:
0 The file NAME COMMON A contains lines to be inserted.
The file NAME MORTDEF A contains the line
FILEDEF 22 DISK NAME COMMON A
0 The input, in the file NAME MORTRAN A, contains the lines
%R22
%U22
where ever the insertion is to occur.
0 Mortran is then invoked by the statement MORTRAN NAME.
(Of course, for inserting up to a few tens of lines, it
would be better to create a macro, such as
%'INSERTION'='lines or statements to be inserted'
In this case, the statement INSERTION; in the source will be
replaced by the lines to be inserted, without the I/O activ-
ity.)

0 @N+ - nest-level counter increased by 1
@N- - nest-level counter decreased by 1
0 @ND date 'date' is characters containing today's
date. The exact form depends on the
computer you are using, since date
information is not part of standard For-
tran. The 'vanilla' version of Mortran
will give a null string. The VM version
gives the characters dd mmm yyyy, where
dd and yyyy are digits, and mmm is the
three-character abbreviation. You can
get Hollerith out of this by using some-
thing like
%''='''@ND'''
or you can pick it apart with #@n pat-
terns.
0 @NH @n n is character count from most recent
Hollerith conversion.
0 @NL @n n is card number

macro status restored.
0 @n@LT ccccc ccccc is the 5-column character repre-
sentation of the number n.

0 OPERATORS IN PATTERN PARTS OF MACROS
+ OPERATORS IN PATTERN PARTS OF MACROS
- The rules for the pattern side of macro definitions is
pretty straightforward, but there are some subtilties which
aren't obvious on the first (or even second) reading of the
various manuals.
0 The magic character in the patter part of a macro is the
'#', commonly called a 'sharp', 'pound-sign', or 'hashmark'.
Characters which are not part of a '#-operator' must be
matched exactly for a match to succeed. Various #-operators
will match patterns which may be more or less arbitrary.
When a match succeeds, each #-operator in the pattern part
will have matched a (possibly null) string in the text. As
the matched text is expanded, the characters '#n' in the
replacement part are replaced by the corresponding string
from the text. The characters '#1' will be replaced by the
text which matched the first #-operator in the pattern, '#2'
will be replaced by the text which matched the second
#-operator, and so on. The match for the tenth #-operator
replaces '#A', the eleventh replaces '#B', and so on, up to
'#O'. There is an arbitrary limit of 25 parameters in all,
which has never been reported to be a severe restriction.

C.1 ARBITRARY PATTERNS
+ C.1 ARBITRARY PATTERNS
+ _________ ________
0 The simplest #-operator is simply '#', which can be followed
in the pattern by any character except a '@'. This operator
will match any text of any length, including the null
string, subject to these rules:
1) It can't contain a ';'.
2) Parentheses must balance.
3) It can't start with a blank.

+ C.2 PATTERNS OF A SPECIFIC LENGTH
+ ________ __ _ ________ ______
0 The other #-operators have the form '#@n' where n is a char-
acter in 0-9 or A-Z. Normally, these will match any text of
+ ___
a given length. '#@1' matches any one character, including
blank, ';', all flavors of parentheses, '@', etc. '#@2'
matches any two characters, '#@A' matches any ten, and so
on, up to #@S, which matches 28 characters. (The character
count is affected by the fact that multiple blanks are con-
verted to a single blank during the input process, and that
multiple blanks may be introduced by macro replacement. In
general, long text like this is difficult to get right.)

C.3 MATCHING SYNTACTIC ELEMENTS
+ C.3 MATCHING SYNTACTIC ELEMENTS
+ ________ _________ ________
0 I have stolen from the high end of the alphabet to provide
some other matching functions. These are experimental func-
tions, and it remains to be seen whether they will be useful
in real applications. In case of conflict between function
and computing cost, I have reduced the function in this part
of the processor, which may account for some of the strange-
ness in the definitions.
1) '#@T' matches a 'token' of any length, i.e. a string
of characters in 0-9 or A-Z. Leading blanks are deleted,
and a trailing blank will end the match.
2) '#@V' matches a 'token', as above, but will also match
a 'token' followed immediately by anything in parentheses.
For instance, it will match 'A', 'AB', 'AB(C)', and
'A(B+C)', but only the 'AB' of 'AB+C' or 'AB (C)'.

0 CHARACTER SET
+ CHARACTER SET
- The character set used by Mortran is read in as the sec-
ond line of the macro set. Some of the characters, such as
the digits and the alphabet, shouldn't be changed, if only
to protect the sanity of the programmer. Others, for
instance the special characters, might be changed to accomo-
date a special terminal, or a different user language. The
following table gives the position on line 2 of the macro
set for each character, the usual character, and any special
use of that character. Note that it shows only usage that
is defined ("hard-wired") in the processor itself. Trans-
formations set by macros could change it beyond recognition.
